Had the BH-501 for 6mnths same problem with the ear piece just broke no reason not abused in anyway, now I read that they dont have parts I think its time we call consumer affairs.

Thought sound, comfort and functionality were okay, but they’re too flimsy. The left side moulded plastic connector between earphone and neckband broke at the narrowest point, with much less than abusive force. My business is plastics raw materials and I’d say this was the result of a design fault, a moulding fault or both. Nobody at Nokia was willing to accept any responsibility and I’d only had them around 3 months. No parts availability so unless you want to try to repair them yourself, eg with super glue, your only option is to replace them with something much more robust.

Anyone else had this problem. Haven’t seen any web reports, but I’ll bet it’s been a frequent problem and maybe reason for taking them off the market?

These headphones make a decent set producing decent sound.. But they didn’t last a month under normal usage. I didn’t even abuse it in any way, no accidents, just normal usage. Bad buy.

Pros: Decent Sound

Cons: POOR Workmanship
POOR Service
Uncomfortable to use
Signal easily affected by physical barriers
No Music Player Controls
Weak microphone
Did I mention the poor workmanship?

Sorry Sudarshan about being slow to respond, good to see you have it working. Note it is only mono until you get Leopard or hack the system.

Hi,
Was able to figure it out myself by reading the BH 501 manual more carefully. I t has everything necessary to get it working.
Cheers.

Hi,
I got one of these(BH 501) yesterday and tried to use it with my Intel MacBook. It did not seem to find the headset. I have no experience with using Bluetooth devices on the laptop. Is there something else that I have to do than run the Bluetooth setup assistant?
Thanks in advance.

Sudarshan.
